Stitch Style

Here’s a needlepoint stitch that we love for water! We love a Bargello Stitch, and this tutorial is just one of the many different examples of this decorative stitch.

Bargello patterns are traditionally made up of vertical straight stitches arranged in a repeating pattern. Here you’ll see stitches over three canvas threads, undulating up and down.

Bargello patterns are wonderful stitches for needlepoint project backgrounds. Try it out on your next project and share it with us!
